They HAVE BEEN presidents of the US. However, time evolves our understanding of things, and this site you’ve built doesn’t account for that.
You can’t make a “tool” for bypassing actual thinking, reading, and research and then claim that outcome isn’t its intended purpose.

Question: Who is the president of the United States? Answers received included Lincoln, Clinton, Reagan, Trump… then I stopped scanning.
This is an atrocity. People will type in a question and think the answers they’re given are accurate, but they’re likely to be totally misleading.

I’m sure you’ve put a lot of work into this, and it’s hard to hear negative feedback. I hope that with some time and distance, you’ll see how this contributes to misinformation and the general destruction of nuanced knowledge. I’m a researcher. I can see how this would mangle my messages. I’m not impressed.
ETA: I think what a lot of people are reacting to is the claim that you’re getting “an answer”. I’ve been in academia for over a decade. (A) it doesn’t work like that, and (b) I know my students. People love to think they have an answer, when all they have is decontextualized phrase-salad.
